	There are possibilities: "--with-PACKAGE[=ARG]", "--disable-bzip2", and 
--with[out]-libbz2-prefix[=DIR]. Since the mess, I've installed clamav 
with port and it now resides in the port tree. The port tree executables 
are all first in my PATH as the install set it.

	I have no idea why the mess except I changed the install location from 
/usr/local to /usr. That is a stretch but it's always a possibility. The 
source came through clamav.net.

	I just ran 'configure --with-libbz2-prefix=/opt/local', no change of 
install location, and there was no complaint of "bugged" so I'll see if 
it compiles to a working set of files. The compile completed with no 
problem.

	After wiping that compile tree I installed the source again. This time 
I changed the install point to /usr but included the same libbz2 
configure as above. The same warning about a bugged bzip2 was presented. 
It's probably the libraries in the /usr tree that have the bug. I'll 
stick with the port install of clamav.

	Shalom,
